Zephaniah Swift Moore (November 20, 1770 – June 29, 1823)
Moore died two years after Amherst was founded, and was succeeded by Heman Humphrey, a trustee of Williams College. Moore's departure from Williams College established the foundation for the intense Williams–Amherst rivalry that persists to the present. To this day, he is regarded with a measure of derision on the Williams campus.
Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor wrote to him in 1823.[clarification needed][3]
